Pros:
|
Material is top notch.The build quality and it doesn't shout that it's a camera bag.
|
|
Cons:
|
My only concern is the metal clips used to secure the bag. I wonder what the life expectancy of the metal is.
|
|
A comfortable, well built bag that fits a smaller dslr with spare lenses and accessories.

Saying this is a little smaller than an F2 bag is rather an understatement. I don’t know what Domke use to measure their bags, but specifying this as 12 ins long is a little optimistic. I measured the base of the bag as 10 ins long, although you could stretch the inside to 12 ins if needed. The F2 in comparison is a full 12 ins at its base. Also the F2 is wider and taller, and has two large end pockets and a wider strap.
Apart from that it the F6 a ideal bag for things like taking a small amount of equipment on long walks etc. Its quite expensive compared to the F2 which I think offers better value for not that much more money, so in my opinion its only worth buying in preference to the F2 if compact size is an issue.

Pros:
|
High quality, compact, light, descrete
|
|
Cons:
|
Inconvenient clips, no convinient deviders, too basic pockets
|
|
Metal clips are very reliable but inconvenient (need both hands to open). Domke do not sell enough choice of dividers to customize it for individual needs. Its main pocket doesn't have any internal dividers at all.
It is difficult to place there relatively big lens (like Nikon 70-300) on body or apart.
Some rain protection solution is needed as well (Domke sells fabric cover)
From other side it is very light, exceptionally high quality, and not overpadded as many others, and thus you can put there more than into other bags of similar size

I first bought a canvas F2 and used it for about 6 months on vacation and around town. I loved it. After a while I bought a ballistic F6. After I got the F6, for around town, I only use the F6 exclusively. I carry 3 *ist DS cameras with kit lenses attached. I use 2 single compartment dividers to create 3 spaces, and that fit my 3 cameras very well. In the zippered pockets, I carry lens cleaning stuff and extra batteries and neck straps. In the back pocket I have a mini tripod.
I love the way it looks with the canvas panel, sewn to the front of the lid. It creates an interesting look.

Pros:
|
Small and holds a surprising amount of gear and very versatile.
|
|
Cons:
|
Small, but it is advertised as such.
|
|
The bag is great for day work. It holds a camera with fairly large lens attached nose down (D90/18-200mm Nikkor). I added a second 2 compartment insert so it will also hold 5 other lens or accessories depending more on width than anything else in its basic set up.
It can be configured to hold even the fast zooms like the 70-200 f/2.8 if the 4 compartment insert is removed and a two or 3 compartment insert is added.
Very versatile overall.
The from pocket can hold cleaning supplies and filters.
